Gen. Jose El. Uragaj- one of the
greatest of Mexican Generals, died
in San Francisco a few days ago. A
sketch of him says:
"At the time of the American war with
Mexico, in 1846, Gen. Uraga distinguished
himself at Monterey as a brave " and dash
ing soldier. He was the organizer of the
army which, brought Juarez to power du
ring the reform war which lasted from 1857
to 1861. At the time of the French inva
sion, in 1861, he was at variance ! with the
Government on account of leave beinjr

the Maximilian Empire. After the victory
of the republic in 1866 he was exiled by
Juarez."
Now and then a Southern woman
goes to Washington and attracts at
tention ' by her beauty. The staff
correspondent of the Augusta Chron- ,
icle at Washington writes of a young
Virginian woman as follows:
"A distinguished Georgian, recently re
turned from London, pionounced Miss
Annie Cabell, daughter of the Virginia
Congressman, a mo6t lovely and startling
likeness of Mary Anderson in her sunniest
mood. Miss Cabell is a beautiful represen
tative of Virginia's daughters, who, like
those of Georgia, are deservedly famous."

Jay Gould's Visit a Snert one."1"
Mr. Jay Gould, the noted millionaire,
railroad king nd dealer,. In stocks, arrived
here yesterday morning in his elegant Pull
man palace car, accompanied by his wife
and several children and one or two ladies.
He visited the Signal office several times,
accompanied by his . son, "in order to hear
from his yacht, which, was expected inside.
Finally it was ascertained that she passed
Bmithville about 8.80 o'clock, and was on
her way up the river, though she did not
reach here until about 12 o'clock, in conse
quence of having to wait for the tide. The
Atalanta, said to be the handsomest and
staunchest yacht ever built, was launched
at Philadelphia in 1883 and registers '254
tons. Upon her arrival a great many of
our citizens went down on the wharves to
get a look at her, but as she was anchored
in the stream the inspection was a very im
perfect one.; Sheas' a -'splendid looking
crafVwith three rakish' masts ; and is said;
to be possessed of great speed, j :
Soon after she dropped anchor a steam
launch left the yacht and darted rapidly up
the river to the W. & W. Railroad wharf,
where she received Mr. Gould and parly
and conveyed" them to the yacht, which
soon afterwarda weighed anchor and pro
ceeded down the river, her destination be
ing unknown.
The famous millionaire is a very ordina
ry man in appearance, being of small fetat
ure, with a pale cast of features and dark
hair and whiskers. In his travels on the
'streets he was accompanied by his son. a
youth of apparently , about twelve or thir
teen years of age. Mr. Gould made but
few acquaintances in our city.
A Mtecklcas Rockiter.
On Thursday night, about 8 o'clock a
young gentleman was passing in the vicini
ty of Third and Red Cross streets, on his
way to the Second Presbyterian .-church,
when he was suddenly startled by a crash(
and saw a boy, apparently colored and
nearly grown, making his way rapidly
down Red Cross street in the direction of
Second. Several ladies and gentlemen ap
peared in - the doorway of tit. John's
church, and it was found that several glass
in the windows of the 6acred edifice had
been shattered by the rock which was evi
dently thrown by the boy. Some of the
males who came out joined' our young
friend in the effort to capture the reckless
boy, but, after stopping for a moment be
tween Second and Third streets, and find
ing he was about being pursued, be con
tinned to run rapidly down Red Cross,
rocking windows as he went, until he dis
appeared around a corner and was lost to
twt1. .Th MMIlfcf yUfy roan says be could
have caught the boy he" had known at
first what he had done. When be first
heard the crash made by the collision of the
rock with the window of the church he
didn't know what to think of it.
Pomolocleal.
We alluded a few days since to a number
of our farmers who have turned their at
tention to peach culture. Their example
will doubtless be followed by others who
have become convinced of the adaptability
of our soil and climate to the production of
peaches and other fruits. While others are
moving in the matter of peaches, strawber
ries, etc., Capt. W. S. Noble is making in
portant additions to his vineyard.which has
been gradually spreading itself since he
commenced operations about four years
ago. The first year he set out one thousand
vines; the next two years twenty thou
sand more, and this year he will add an
other twenty thousand, making a total of
forty-one or forty -two thousand vines, pro
ducing a large number of different varieties
of gTapes, which he has under cultivation.
Besides which he has a large number of
fruit trees of various kinds either bearing
or about ready to bear. He has ordered
grape vines from California and from
Europe, and is determined to have all the
choice varieties which he can secure.

The St. -Louis Pout Dispatch thus alludes
to Mr. W. J. Scanlan and his new play,
"The Irish Minstrel," which is to be put
upon our boards on the evening of Wed
nesday, February 25th :
"The play is a first-class one. It is an
old-school Irish play, where the rich land
lord and the scheming agent, who is attired
in deep black, walks with bent knees and
rubs bis hands nervously, are the villains,
and an old Irish gentleman, his daughter,
his foolish son, and the Irish minstrel are
the persecuted ones.
"The Irish Minstrel, Larry O'Lynn. by
his shrewdness defeats the ends of the
schemers, eaves the Irish gentleman from
ruin and marries the daughter.
"Mr. Scanlan does some very meritori
ous comedy work in the play, while his
songs and dances are a charming addition
to his part.
The dialogue is Irish to the core; full of
sharp hits and witty repartee, arid the dra
matic situations are not strained."
Probably a Mistake.
The last Raleigh Nem and Observer re
ports that a bill "to allow Wilmington to
issue bonds to the amount of $100,000 for
street improvements, &c.," had passed its
second reading in the House.' This is news
to us down here, where it was thought that
an unanimous protest of the citizens would
have some effect in preventing any serious
consideration of the proposition. There
must, of coarse, be some mistake. . -

WHO IS MRS. WINSLOW is this question
Is frequently asked, we will simply say that she is
a lady who for upwards of thirty years has unti
ringly devoted b ?r time and talents as a female
Physician and ir-rse. principally among children.
She has especially , studied the constitution and .
wants of this numerous -class, and, as a result of
this effort, and practical knowledge, obtained in
a lifetime spent as a nurse and physician, she has
compounded a Soothing Syrup for children teeth
ing. It operates like magic giving rest and
health, and is, moreover, sure to regulate the
bowels. In consequence of this article Mrs. Wins
low is becoming world-renowned as a benefactor
of her race; ohildren certainly do bibb dt and
: bless her; especially uvthis the oase in this city.
Vaet qaantltiee the Soothing Syrup are dallt
old and used here.. W thlnk Hrs- Wlnslow has
jimmortalized feet name "by this tevaluableti''
cle, and we sincerely believe thousands of chil
dren have been saved from an early grave by its
timely ase, and that millions yet unborn will
share its benefits, and unite in calling her blessed.
No Mothbb has discharged her duty to her suffer
ing little one, in our opinion, until she has given
